LONDON: David Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn has had a trial with Premier League giants Chelsea, according to reports in the British media on Wednesday.

The 13-year-old reportedly took part in an under-14s match at the European champions' training ground in Surrey, south-east England on Tuesday.

Former England captain Beckham, who has been without a club since leaving the Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of last year, was pictured at Chelsea's training base in a photograph that emerged on Twitter.

Beckham, 37, has previously played for Manchester United, Real Madrid, the LA Galaxy and AC Milan, and won 115 caps for England, which is a national record for an outfield player.

He is yet to make an announcement about the next destination in his footballing career.

Brooklyn is one of four children that Beckham has had with his wife Victoria, the pop star turned fashion designer, along with Romeo, Cruz and Harper.
